yup.. we left at 3pm and it was looking pretty dead. "Finals" if you could call them that weren't until about 4pm or something. And I don't think anybody really could be bothered sticking around. Most of the cars had given up trying to get good times and just let their cars stay safe in the shade. So there wasn't even much to watch by that stage.

Organisers would have lost lots of money I would say due to the temperature. Right concept I reckon, but just wrong day for it.

Definitely just bad luck with the weather, plus it is a new event and it takes awhile for something like this to really catch on.

I think the Summernats had a bad turnout the first couple of years, but look at it now (mind you that was waaaay before my time, so I could be wrong)

what times did you run psi 350.... your engine bay looked impressive....

Hey Mark I ran a 12.3 @118mph, had a few dramas with traction and still running in the engine with a bit of a fat tune, but im happy with that now untill i get a bit more time to mess with it!

psi350 how many rwks are you making so far...what a/f ratio are you running i think mine is 12 to 1...also a bit rich....

yes it was a hot day my intercooler outlet temp was at 50deg after a run... not good usually 30 to 32 deg...

your engine looks very impressive....

Mark im running around 12:1 at full boost, whaen the motor runs in a little more i'll lean it out to about 13 or 13.2:1

Bonnet saved 14KG, bootlid saved 12Kg, fenders wouldn't be very much, body kit probably about 10Kg over the fibreglass equiv. rear seat 9Kg pass seat 9Kg.

I weighed mine with mick51in it (65Kg) it came up 1304Kg with half tank of fuel. Thats pretty much stock with 400r front bar which is probably a little heavier than origional + the Recaro driver seat is heavier than origional.

I think that car is a demo car for the place.. so probably didn't cost him that much. Anybody else, I'd imagine it wouldn't be cheap.

strange.. isn't stock factory weight meant to be 1390kg? Thats a under what i would have thought. Hmm, wonder how much mine weighs? I'm probably lugging 100kg of crap i don't need..

Guards are only 3kg each (weighed them).. you wouldn't save much from c/f. Doors probably would be biggest reduction if you could get them carbon (you can, but from japan they're $2k each or something)

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
